Holiday gifts: New fixes and improvements

Today we released some small improvements, and started working on some big ones!

These early holiday gifts are for Admins, only: If you make a task on a report, when you view a task, there’s a link to the related report automatically added to the Task. It’s highlighted in blue, so you can’t miss it. Also, now when there’s a report created by a user where the location data is absent (no latitude/longitude) instead of showing you a map centered on the U.S., somewhere in Kansas, no map will appear. Instead it will say “No coordinates supplied” right under the location name.

We started working on three improvements, due early 2016:

Pick your favorites, and get notified of Alerts: As we get a longer list of participating clients, our menu gets longer. Soon you’ll be able to see your favorites in the menu, first. And, you’ll be able to get notifications as email and/or as text if there’s an alert posted by the client.

Volunteer: Along with Alerts, you will soon be able to volunteer with participating clients. Our volunteer management tools will make it easy for admins to find volunteers, coordinate work groups, and more. Volunteer groups will be able to coordinate among themselves, as well.

Vendors: Soon Admins will be able to invite Vendors into the system. Once registered they will be able to receive notifications by email of new Tasks, mark task status, comment on tasks and view partial reports. Tasks will be able to have maps generated from coordinates, as well.
